The edition for 1888 of the sterling
Medical Annual, known as Hostetter's
Almanac, is now ready, and may be OBJ
tanned, free of cost, of druggists and gen.
eral country dealers in all parts of the
United States, Mexico and indeed in
every civilized portion of the Western
Hemisphere. This Almanac has been
issued regularly at the commencement
of every year for over one-fiith of CEN
fury. 1t combines, with the soundest
practical advice for the preservation and
restoration of health, large amount of
interesting and amusing light reading,
and the calendar, astronomical calcula-
tions, chronological items, &C., are pre-
pared with great care, and will be found
entirely accurate. The issue of Hostel
ter's Almanac for 1888 will probably be
the largest edition of a medical work
ever published in any country. The
proprietors, Messrs. Hostetter & Co.,
Pittsburg, Pa, on receipt of two cent
stamp, will forward copy by mail to
any person who can not procure one in
his neighborhood.

The near approach of Christmas
gladdens the hearts of both buyer
and seller. The great competition
in trade causes the merchant to use
every honorable device to secure
patronage. The newspaper is most
naturally sought after as a medium
through which to extend an invita-
ton to the many thousands. Every
buyer should remember that to him
who invites is the proper one to deal
with. If this advice is always fol-
lowed you will never regret it.

AS IT is darkest just before dawn,
so there begins to shine a bright
future for Newark. Notwithstand-
ing one of her chief industries has
been silenced almost twelve months,
which naturally had a depressing
effect on business, and caused no
little inconvenience yet there is COM
ing back to our people a feeling of
assurance that the near future holds
better things in store. And who
can tell but that some manufacturer,
after becoming acquainted with the
great advantages that can be offered,
settle among us. Such a move
would soon add many new build
ings to our town and increase trade
greatly. No place can compare with
Newark as to natural and easy facil-
tiles in bringing raw material and
carrying away manufactured fabrics.
We believe we speak truthfully
when we say that certain gentle
men here, could he advantageously
secure a certain location, erect a
large mill that would give employ
ment to many persons. The hopes
are that measures will be taken by
some Of our prominent men to have
the scheme consummated.

THERE has been some talk about
trying to forbid Sunday papers, and
we suppose that all railroads cease
running trains, and telegraph offices
closed. How this all is to be done
we have not been informed. Per-
haps petition will be sent to Con-
gress asking for law. Can Con-
gress make such a law? The Phila-
delphia Times, speaking about this
matter wisely says;
Congress has no more power to
declare that trains shall not be run
and newspapers not published on
Sunday in Chicago or any other city
than it has to declare that water
shall not run down hill. Any laws
it might pass on the subject would
be set aside as unconstitutional
when brought before the courts, and
it is strange that people of ordinary
intelligence should not know it
Whether it is right or wrong from
the moral standpoint for these things
to be done on Sunday is not within
the province of Congress to decide
An amendment to the Constitution
covering these points might be pass
ed provided Congress by two-thirds
majority favored the idea and tn,
Legislatures of three-fourths of the
States could be induced to ratify it
This is a possibility so remote, how
ever, as not to invite discussion TO
a century or two.

The Superior Court at Whining
ton has decided that one, Elwood
Souder, is not entitled to money due
him as a mechanic, against the
Academy of Music, because 'the
work for which the plaintiff sued
was entirely outside of the mechan-
les lien law" Souder's claim was
for making and hanging drop cur
tain, placing decorations, etc., and
just because of technicality in law,
this man loses what lawfully belongs
to him. The above would seem to
suggest that one or more important
amendments or clauses be added to
the'mechanics' lein law" As it is
the law is entirely to lean.

While I am not betting man, said
F. J. Cheney, of the firm of F. J. Che
ney & Co., / considered it my religious
duty to make that fellow a bet; you see
he was about dead, and | guess he
would have died before spring, if had
not got him on the bet. You know
some men had rather lose their life
than lose hundred; we'll, he was one
of that kind, and we both came near
being out, but saved my hundred and
it only cost him ten dollars. How g
that? He sent for me one day and
said the doctors had all given him up
to die with the catarrh. l told him
that would bet him 500 that Hall 8
Catarrh Cure would cure him. or I
would give him 800 if it failed. He
took the latter proposition. This was
three months ago; you see how he
looks now, don't you, as well as any

IN BRIEF, AND 70 THE POINT.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is foe to
good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated and won-
derful things in existence. It is easily
put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,
irregular habits, and many other
things which ought not to be, have
made the American people nation of
dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has
done wonderful work in reforming
this sad business and making the
American people so healthy that they
can enjoy their meals and be happy.
Remember-No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower
brings health and happiness to the dys.
peptic. Ask your druggist for bot
tie. Seventy-fve cents.

Dubuque for years has been the leading
jobbing city OF Iowa, but with her territory
enlarged within the past year by the acquisi-
ton of two new lines of Railroad and with
several others to be built shortly, her import
ance as a commercial center has been CORE
spondingly increased, and she now ranks
second to none in the northwest, fact which
her merchants seem to fully realize and
and appreciate. Especial notice to the ex-
ample of enterprise and push shown by the
WEsTPHAL-H1NDs HARDWARE Co. parti-
cularly meriting attention, carrying as they
do up to and in advance of the times, the
largest stock of heavy, shelf and carriage
hardware, woodstock and hardwood lumber
of any house West of Chicago. Represented
throughout the northwestern states and ter
ritories by large force of experienced sales
men, with all the facilities for making prompt
shipments and by giving close attention to
every detail of their business, their trade has
increased enormously within the past few
years. Our merchants should remember this
house when placing their orders. By so doing
they would obtain the advantage of quick
shipments, low freights and prices that are
based on the closest percentage above cost Of
laying down the goods.
